Constant "positivity" is a form of avoidance, not a valid solution‼
Denying negative emotions leads to experiencing more deeper, prolonged negative emotions and to emotional dysfunction ❗
When we force ourselves to stay positive at all times, we deny our existence of our problems, we rob ourselves of the chance to solve them and generate REAL happiness.
Problems add a sense of meaning to our life. ~ Mark Manson again. Have you read his book "The subtle art of not giving a fuck" ? It's 🤯👌🏽👍🏽👏🏽🙌🏽💥 .

Shout out to @dmvnaturalista for getting my locs right & tight for the summer! I’ve had my locs for 22 years. Survived a couple of disastrous hair cuts and have experienced the natural wear and tear that all locs go through after having been a part of you for decades. This Sistah was able to restore my locs to the full healthy mane I hadn’t seen in years. No weak spots on locs, no locs with thin roots and no broken off locs. She fixed it all! She was even able to incorporate my grays neatly, something I wasn’t able to do as they grow in much straighter than the rest of my hair. If you need more than loc maintenance and instead need loc restoration, let me tell you, this Sistah is EXACTLY who you need. Don’t walk, RUN to get on her calendar.

Woke up thinking about this toasted miso caramel beauty from @pepperbox_doughnuts! To be completely honest, nothing can compare and this is definitely another addition to the list of why I miss living in Charlotte 🍩😋
